[Support Thread] Nochex APC

[hazel]

I've been toiling with this all night and think I might have one working now.
I'd appreciate anyone who is willing, to test and play around with it.
It is now communicating with the Nochex checkout (which the existing one I had wasn't) and seems to be going OK. Haven't actually performed a live transaction yet only this minute finished it, so can't guarantee anything.

If you would like to try it, click and download the tiny .zip.

Any feedback, good or bad would be appreciated. I'll be fully testing it over the next day or so, if it works, it will be available to the community.

So the previous nochex mod, available in archives section of downloads here at zencart no longer works?

Not used Nochex as yet, so cannot test for myself.

Sorry, I didnt intend to misslead, I have not tried it. I did conclude from reading that as the mod is now so old and that certain mods had to be done to make it work for 1.3.5. it is not reliable. Also looking at recent posts you do get that impression.
I am not a programmer, so like others here need a mod that will work without probs. The one in the demo seems to be that.

Thanks for info Carl, my comment not actually directed at you personally,
was just querying if anyone had tried old contribution with latest zencart
releases.

Excellent, thanks for that Hazel, I'll give it a try tonight and let you know.

To the other: I believe the Nochex module in the archives is NOT an APC module, i.e. No callback to your site and no automatic confirmation of the payment. It'll behave just like a 'normal' Nochex payment.

Fingers crossed for hazels mod!

The existing NoChex module (ie. the 'old' one) works fine on zen 1.3.6 - my clients are using it on several shops (and the oldest shop is still on v 1.2.3)

It does confirm to the shop that a payment has been processed successfully, and it does initiate the 'checkout success' page and order in the shop/confirmation emails - although the version presently in the downloads section was corrupted last time I tried it (Jan 2006 - problem with some of the carriage returns being stripped out when it was uploaded, or something similar maybe - fixable though).

The 'new' NoChex APC currently has a file missing (or did have a few days ago) plus it doesn't pass the location of your header banner/logo for the payment page at NoChex as the existing mod does - although you can copy the code across from the existing mod quite easily. The confirmation emails from NoChex no longer display the delivery address (they used to in the older mod).

It's also missing the customer's 'phone number (which is now a required field on the new NoChex payment page) although apparently NoChex don't have a variable for that if you're using the 'Seller' account (the Merchant account has one) - bit of an omission on NoChex's part perhaps since the customer gets an error if they don't see/fill it in.

It also doesn't pass the postage (again, no variable, apparently) and it's difficult to get the cart description formatted properly at present (NoChex is ignoring the formatting codes - have emailed them).

The new APC module seems to give a bit more info on the customer's order page (similar to Paypal) - although I haven't been able to see it yet because the missing file prevents it displaying - and the payment page at NoChex is better laid out, otherwise I can't see much different between the old and new mod unless you're using a NoChex 'Merchant' account, when it seems to provide more variables and the possibility of feeding several shops into the same NoChex account (although beware, there's a large rolling retainer on the 'Merchant' account).

There's a working version of the 'old' NoChex module here:

(You'll also need the language file from the NoChex mod in the downloads section)

Pixxi, thank you very much for posting information
re nochex

[slick]

folks,

hope this helps, feedback very welcome

new nochex payment pages module with APC

[Pixxi]

Just a FYI for anyone downloading ... the new version is not yet in the downloads section (presumably hasn't been 'approved' yet) - the mod there today is still the older one (with the file missing) dated 20th December.

Just thought i would let people know.....

I have uploaded the new Nochex module and it appears to have fields on the setup page but no description about what to put in them, Take a look

There's two problems:

1. The mod in the download section is still (currently) the old mod dated 20 December. Although you can process a transaction via NoChex with this one, it has a file missing that prevents the display of the payment info on the customer's order page (it gives an error).

2. If your field descriptions are missing when you edit the NoChex mod in admin check to see if you have the existing (ie older, non-APC) NoChex mod files also in your shop - the files for the two mods cannot be present at the same time since they seem to use some of the same variables and clash - irrespective of the info in the mod's readme file that says they can co-exist.
